Maze your Best - Tower Defence (MyB TD) * Help Needed *

[Goliath the God]

I'm active with a project, I call it Maze your Best. But enough about that. I have some problems.. thehe.

Problem #1:
Splash Issue,
I can't get it - but my Siege Towers seem to damage my other towers. The splash should only damage Enemy, Ground.. I'm sure it says that. Also, just in case, I made the tower unable to damage structures. And only enemies...
.. HEEEELP!


Problem #2:
Building Animation,
Is it possible to make my towers use the Undead Construction animation? Or do I have to edit the models for that to happen?
.. HEEEELP!


Problem #3:
Map Preview,
My map preview won't work, I've got it to work on my other maps.. but that a long time ago - I can't get what I did wrong.
.. EEEK!


I'll be waiting for some help.
You may aswell post your ideas for the map,
I won't give any spoilers about how it is though.
.. And by the way - Demo Version comming up soon!

#1: You're probably only editing the targets allowed for the tower to attack, but not the AoE targets. Scroll up a little.
#3: 128x128 or 256x256 tga file name it war3mapPreview.tga

2. Yes, you have to have new models, because it is actually the model's "birth" animation.

#1 .. Didn't I mention I did both the AoE targets and the allowed targets.. ?

#2 Damn.. Why didn't Blizzard make birth animations to the Boulder Towers, and Arcane Tower?

#3 I have the correct name, the correct size..
It displays white.




More Help pleeeease!
Never mind about #3 .. I've figured it out...

Since u are making a maze, i presume the towers will not be destroyed or damaged at any point by actions of the players or the computer, so, a simple solution: give the towers ability 'invulnerable'. That way the towers wont take damage from anybody

 

[Goliath the God]

>.< Nope. If I make the towers invulnerable anyone would be able to just block of the creeps.. and that won't make much fun. :roll:

Okay...first: change the map name! I thought u were making an escape map. I know the word 'maze' is also used in some td's, but i've met it more in escapes. Anyway 'maze' is a confusing word and almost all maps named 'maze' something are doomed to be forgotten because of the confusion they cause, unless the word 'maze' is explained at the title, which in this case it isnt. 'Example: Maze forest TD'

Back to ur problem #1: Only thing i can say to u is; check the towers again. I have made 2 td's myself, and if u honestly allow only enemy targets, the towers just cant damage ur own or friendly units, it goes against the laws of warcraft 3. Check the towers again, and after that, check them again!!

Combat - Attack 1 - Area of Effect Targets:
Ground, Enemy

:roll:



Oki, I'll change the Name to MyB TD, Maze your Best - Tower Defence.

probraly u don't know that u can change unit - 'target allowed' into invulnerable so they can attack them and only them, so u can make it like that
